You Doug, are making a mistake, by deleating the part about pork bellies. If one goes back to the 70's(many also quote far earlier dates) and look at the relationship between pork bellies and gold, it is great. In pork bellies one finds far more than simply the cost of the pig as all bellies are preserved via one form of cure(to include freezing) or another there by representing (somewhat)a store of value. It requires the addition of feed & labor to turn spring weener piglets into fully fed-out swine. Additional labor and time is also added to in the "kill & butcher" operations. rh
